But what if the user wants smaller code in general but still wants a
prefetch optimization?  The prefetch parameters vary from machine to
machine within ix86, and if they come from the size_cost info then
they are wrong for some machines.  Those structs are currently const,
so moving the proper parameters into the size_cost struct don't work
unless "const" is removed from several places.
